Live your life.
We’ve got the “just in case.”
Cover Your Tail is a private check-in app designed for life’s everyday “just in case” moments.
Every time we tell someone about Cover Your Tail, they say the same thing:
“I know exactly when I’d use that.”
What’s your “just in case?”
Everyone has one.
Most of the time, everything goes exactly as planned.
Cover Your Tail gives you a quiet backup plan for the time it doesn’t.
Set it up once. Then go live your life.

The moments that make you think,
“I should probably let someone know.”
Cover Your Tail fits into real life in ways that are different for everyone. Here are a few of the moments that inspired it.
The late flight home
“My dog sitter expected me home that night, but my flight was running very late. I didn’t want to wake her with a 2:00 a.m. phone call — I just wanted her to know only if I didn’t make it home. I set an Activity, checked in when I got back, and she never heard a thing.”
The ladder
“I fell from a ladder and eventually got up on my own. But lying there, I kept thinking: what if I couldn’t? Nobody knew I was out there. That was the moment I realized I needed a backup plan — not for emergencies. Just for the unexpected.”
The caregiver’s grocery run
“I care for my mother. For years I worried about leaving her just to run to the store. What would happen to her if something happened to me and nobody knew? A simple check-in gives me the peace of mind to step away — and the backup plan if I don’t come back.”
